Baby Friendly e-learning package for GPS
DCHS are due to go for Baby Friendly Reaccreditation in July 2019. Baby Friendly accreditation is a systematic, evidence based approach to providing care and support for families with young babies and is recommended in the NHS long term plan.
As part of our accreditation process, DCHS would like to offer free CPD learning to GPs within Derbyshire. The Baby Friendly online training in infant feeding has been funded by DCHS until 31/7/19.
The course is split into modules, allowing learners to pause and resume where they left off.
Learning outcomes are;
- How to treat common breast conditions (e.g. mastitis, thrush);
- How to access a reliable reference source for prescribing drugs for breastfeeding mothers;
- How to refer mothers to the most appropriate professional for breastfeeding help and support (particularly when a baby has faltering growth).
Upon completion of the training, GPs can print off a certificate for their portfolio.
The course can be accessed via https://babyfriendly.litmos.com/self-signup/ using the code “17derbyshire”. This code is only valid until 31/7/19. Further instructions on accessing this are attached.
